WiFi Drivers

I have an old laptop that im trying to get up and running, ive got windows installed, but i cant find the drivers disk for it. its an Advent QC430 and its wifi card is a Qcom Q802XKG (from the sticker on the back of it). I cant find any driver download links that work.

In the past ive used a driver installer that you could install the main program and then download a device driver pack to start from but i cant remember what it was called (the packs were sometimes a few gb as they had all known drivers in them) - it was a free one aswell. Anyone know the name of it.

What operating system are you using? If its Windows 10 it should find them for you, did with my PCI wireless card.

Several results come up in Google if you search for "q802xkg driver" grab some and see if they work.

Why anyone would want to reinstall Vista is beyond me, not to mention its probably open to all manner of attacks and compromises by now

You probably mean Snappy Driver Installer Origin, which is what I use.
